Default Early '60s

Back around 1960, my little town, a suburb of St. Louis, got its first McDonald's. It was run by a man from Chicago, a friend of Ray Kroc.

The story he used to tell diners was that he had been in a job on the road around the Midwest and wanted to settle down, so he went to his friend Kroc and asked if he could buy one of his McDonald's franchises.

But, he said, he didn't want it in Chicago because there were already two there and he worried the city couldn't support any more. Since he'd always enjoyed the St. Louis area on his travels, he wanted to put his restaurant there. That's how we got McDonald's #3.

Can you imagine? He thought a third McDonald's would flood the market in Chicago! I wonder how many McD's there are in the Chicago area today.

Why is it that every time i hear that song "theme from a Summer Place" I melt into a puddle on the floor. That song brings back so many wonderful memories. I guess its just a girly thing ,but thanks for the memories! Those were the days.

If only we could go back to the 60's for just 1week! 1 day, I would even settle for 1 hour.

Default The 60s

Every time I think of my life in the 60's it takes a half hour to get the smile off of my face.



See what I mean?
